Scientists have discovered the same genetic mutation in 11 types of West Nile- and malaria-spreading mosquitoes -- a mutation that may explain their growing immunity to insecticides. The findings ...
An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...
A research group from the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has found that an alteration in the POT1 gene prevents lung tissue from regenerating, which over time makes breathing difficult. A ...
When the TREX1 gene is functioning normally, it produces a protein that helps maintain DNA in cells throughout the body. Mutations in the TREX1 gene are known to cause a rare and serious disease ...
In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...
A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
New research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why certain immune cells in humans are less effective at fighting solid tumors compared to ...
SOX17 mutations are linked to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension often diagnosed in childhood, though some develop the ...
It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...
A rare but serious clotting disorder linked to certain COVID-19 vaccines and natural adenovirus infections has puzzled scientists for years.
